Chambered in the lighter 5.45x39mm, a cartridge introduced to replace the 7.62x39mm of the AK47/M rifles, the AK-74 was intended to be more controllable in fully-automatic fire and decrease the weight borne by infantry. Unlike the AKM in-game, it lacks adjustable ironsights meaning it can't be zeroed.

Like the AKM, the weapon is common and ammunition is plentiful. In DayZ the report of the AK-74 is quieter than that of the AKM, but the damage is very significantly lowered.

-== Play withSIX ==

-[http://play.withsix.com Play withSIX] is the new official launcher/update/installer/server browser for DayZ, from the creators of SIX Launcher, Updater and supported by years of community experience.. It is the evolution of, and is much improved over SIX Launcher, and is even easier to use.
+[[Category:Weapons]]
-Supported by a huge community and custom network just like the original SIX Launcher and Updater.
+[[Category:Rifles]]
-Play withSIX has much improved performance, usability and looks, a slick server browser with advanced filtering, and supports also a great number of other community Mods.
-There are also (preliminary) social features like public, group and private chats, buddylists, follow your friends playing and join them, and much more.
-The current release is a fully functional public preview with as a replacement to the SIX Launcher.
-For feedback and support please refer to http://getsatisfaction.withsix.com/withsix
-Basic Howto:
-In this example we are going to install DayZ.
-The guide assumes that you have installed and are running Play withSIX.
-.	First select the mod, in our example, DayZ. You can bring up the mod selection by clicking the “No active Mod” block, or if a mod is selected, it will show the currently selected mod logo.
-.	Make sure Multiplayer is enabled in the Info block under the Mod block, then click this block to enable the Server Browser.
-.	Select the desired server, you can use the advanced server filter to find exactly what you are looking for.
-.	The action button now should say either Update, Install or Join. Click this button to initiate the action, in case of install/update, wait until it’s done and then click Join to join the server.
-If your mod is already uptodate you can simply double click any server to join it.
-If you need to configure any game settings, like startup options, installation paths etc, click on the Game block (saying ARMA 2 currently).
-== DayZCommander ==
-[http://www.dayzcommander.com/ DayZCommander] is a new, open-source launcher for DayZ that is quicker, more powerful, and simpler to use than Six Launcher.  Six Updater may still be handy for keeping DayZ updated, but DayZCommander should probably be used for everything else.
-== ARMA 2 Free Install - Not working ==
-Hello,
-I've been trying to get the Arma2 Free + OA install to work, but the guide provided here misses some crucial steps.
-I would propose adding a link to this guide by Kodabar in the free install section:
-http://kodabar.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-to-install-dayz-with-arma-2-free.html
-Especially since this site comes up first in google searches, but doesn't work, it has caused a lot of frustration (at least for me!)
-Best,
-Laika

-== Improved how to install DayZ instructions ==
-I've made a small table of instructions on how to install DayZ, it's not complete, however I felt that I should post it for some feedback~
